Technology does nothave dedicated research lab space, nor a data center. The primary desire for the NCA&Tresearchers was to have a data center for research of innovative configurations and applicationsof enterprise computing, and an environment that is conducive to active undergraduate andgraduate student research participation. The research plan called for the equipment to be installedin classroom labs. The primary location shares space with an industrial controls lab, and has Page 25.24.3existing three-phase power and network connectivity. The cooling capacity of the lab is notsuitable for 24/7 operation of several racks of servers, but is

this research was to explore the use of student internships as a means of benchmark-ing best practices in the construction industry while providing synergistic benefits for all stake-holders involved in the process. The objective was to design a model internship program involv-ing faculty, students, and participating companies that could actively introduce students to sys-tematic methods of inquiry and industry best practices while increasing their resourcefulness andvalue to companies during their industry experience. The model should also provide a platformfor engaging faculty by providing a means of gathering difficult-to-obtain data from industry thatcould be used for research purposes, and it should return that data in aggregated form to

LDDI began in early 2006 with the development of an advisory board andcontinued with statewide outreach meetings in four major regions of the state. The purpose ofthese meetings was to share the LDDI vision and recruit industry professionals to participate indevelopment of the land development design program at the University. These early efforts haveresulted in over 200 practitioners who now participate in this initiative, donating time, energy,and their firms’ resources to achieve LDDI priorities. Participation is kept active by the advisoryboard’s biweekly teleconferences and quarterly meetings, semiannual general membershipmeetings, email, a quarterly newsletter, and a collaboration website that enables sharing files,discussions, and a

Their contributions range from assisting inthe development of the curriculum to providing facilities and internships for students, andgranting CEUs to current water and wastewater operators. In summation, their participation is asimportant to the success of the WTI program as a reliable internet connection. Without the latter,students are unable to participate in coursework. Without the former, the educational system willstruggle to remain relevant to industry needs. Therefore, continued partnerships with industrywill work to ensure that the Water Training Institute meets the water

In some cases, sponsorships from partnering companies canprovide direct financial support for project materials and equipment. Additionally, industrypartners can act as a part of the institution’s broader professional network to connect graduatesand alumni to employment opportunities. For partnering companies, capstone sponsorship can provide a meaningful way to engagewith the future of engineering. Their participation can serve as an investment in their futureworkforce, as well as an opportunity to access unconventional solutions from students andfaculty.
